Ethical Profile

Mixed.

NEXUS AG, a healthcare software provider, presents a mixed ethical profile. While its hospital information systems aim to enhance patient outcomes and the company demonstrates GDPR compliance, concerns exist regarding worker treatment. Reports indicate a gender pay gap where women allegedly earn 83p for every £1 men earn. Employee turnover also rose from 9.64% in 2019 to 12.12% in 2022, with a slight dip in overall employee satisfaction. Despite receiving multiple kununu Top Company Awards, these figures suggest areas for improvement in fair pay and worker respect. Environmentally, NEXUS AG reported 2,415 tons CO₂e for Scope 1+2 emissions and 58.9% renewable electricity, but comprehensive data on other metrics is limited.
